Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bridesburg
Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.2/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8/10. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Court records carry 73 eviction filings across 4 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2012 at 8.0% of renter households. At $1,282 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Philadelphia commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 6.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 83% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.4/10. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter.
